India 15-0 (4 ovs) vs Pak 162 | Scorecard

India's two openers -- Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan -- stride out to the middle as they chase a lowly 163 for victory.

For Pakistan, opening bowler Mohammad Amir will be aiming to pick up a few early wickets with the new ball.

Rohit turns the first ball on the leg side for a single to get off the mark and Dhawan clips the third ball to fine leg for his first run before his skipper defends the rest of the over.

Left-arm pacers from both ends as Usman Khan is called into the attack from the other end.

Dhawan runs the first ball down to thirdman for one before Rohit gets a big inside edge which narrowly misses the stumps and goes fine on the leg side for a four.

Usman gets one to slant across Rohit, who has a poke and is beaten before he defends the last ball.

In the next over, the in-form Dhawan slaps a full wide delivery for a four and then clips the next ball through midwicket for three runs.

Dhawan tries to cut a short ball from Usman but it stays a bit low to beat the left-hander before he defends the next right off the middle on to the covers.

After five dot balls in a row, Dhawan guides the last ball to thirdman for a single as India reach 15 for no loss in four overs.
